Saudi tourist drowns in Nile River in Uganda after taking selfie

The man fell into the river while taking pictures at the Kalagala Falls on Saturday, and his body was found downstream by a fisherman on Tuesday, local police spokeswoman Hellen Butoto told dpa.
"He was taking selfies when he fell into the river from a very slippery rock on which he was standing. His friends failed to help. His body was retrieved very early yesterday by a fisherman," she said.
The Nile, the world's longest river, runs through Uganda, and the river's numerous falls and rapids are a major tourist attraction.
